First Slide:

MILANKOVITCH PARAMETERS

2nd Slide:

It is possible that the 21st century may introduce yet another dramatic changes in climate?

Is there enough information to answer the age-old question of “what will the weather be tomorrow?

3rd slide

His contemporary scientists critiqued his work, saying that the effects of the change in the radius of the
Earth’s orbit, the change in the tilt of the spin of the earth, and the wobble in the spin axis (now called
the Milankovitch parameters).

4th slide

The Milankovitch cycles include:

1. The shape of earth’s orbit, known as eccentricity;

2. The angle Earth’s axis is tilted with respect to Earth’s orbital plane, known as obliquity; and

3. The direction Earth’s axis of rotation is pointed, known as precession.
